How much wine can you drink????

[antkim]

I was talking to my girlfriend tonight on the phone. We got on the topic of "kids, stress, work, money" etc. I said to her that I am finding myself relaxing at night having a glass (sometimes 2) of wine while I read or Dis! LOL I said that I really need to break the "habit" and she responded "oh please! A glass of wine? I drink a bottle of wine almost every night"!!!

She is the most caring mother/wife, has a great job, looks like a #10 no matter when you see her etc. I would never in a million years think she drank too much....is this too much?

I was thinking about when I used to pour wine as a bartender....technically a bottle of wine gets you a little over 3 glasses of wine. I guess it is when you hear a "bottle" that gets your attention!

Believe me, I am NO saint. I could probably drink a bottle of wine myself!

I drank a whole bottle last week when I celebrated by 40th bday!!!!!

Hmm, I drink very little so when I do, a little goes a long way. If I'm feeling adventurous I could drink maybe 2 glasses.

That seems like an awful lot to be drinking on a regular basis. Maybe she was exaggerating. I definitely get loopy after 1 glass of wine. I have a friend who used to go out to lunch with her 4-year-old daughter a lot and would have one sometimes two glasses of wine--at LUNCH!!

I could drink a bottle no problem...but my body wouldn't like it the next day. So I compromise a have a glass every now and then.
But if I am at a party I will polish off a bottle, but that would be with appetizers & over an evening as well.

Happy Birthday!! You DO NOT look 40 (not that 40 is old )

Like I said...I can and have drank a whole bottle myself...it's just the "nightly" thing that peaked my curiosity!

It depends, I was on a wine kick last winter and had no problems drinking a few glasses. Now no way can I get through 2
glasses.

I can't hold my liquor well--I'd be snockered after half a glass! I had much more immunity built up when I was in college!

About three glasses of wine (about 3/4 bottle) is my tolerance. I have drank more than that, and it is not pretty. Ironically, I can drink more beer or mixed drinks than that if I space them out. Luckily, my drink of choice is wine, so 3 drinks is usually my limit. If you see me here Friday nights on the DIS around midnight, you can pretty much rest assured I am on my 3rd glass.

Aaaawwwww thanks. . I normally don't drink, only on occasion, but my "Redneck Yacht Club" friends wouldn't have it any other way . :thewave:

I'd have to say none. I don't like wine. But I could polish off a bottle of champagne without a problem.

I'll remember that and point out every typo!!! 3 glasses is almost a bottle...what do you do with the last 1/4 ounce? LOL

3 glasses is no problem for me either...not trying to brag! Yes, dh and I enjoy our "cocktails" although my "cocktails" are limited to wine and beer now..I can not handle the "hard stuff" like I used to@

 

[polly p]

usually 2 is my limit but I'll have 3 occasionally. It just hurts more the next morning.

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

None! For some reason, I'm yet to find a wine that I like enough to be able to drink more than a sip of!

 

[Briarmom]

I could drink a bottle. But I can't remember the last time I did that. Literally. I can't remember it.
No, just kidding. I haven't done that in a long time. I, like Aidensmom, can drink a lot more beer than I can wine.

 

[SillyMe]

I don't drink wine either. I prefer strawberry daiquiris. Would a bottle of wine be equivalent to a bottle of daiquiri mix (without the alcohol)?

 

[OceanAnnie]

I get loopy with one glass. I rarely drink. The last time I had a few glasses of a wine cooler I felt it. I guess it was a wine cooler. Something like a hard lemonade.

I end up getting a 1/3 to one half of a bottle. DH and I always share the bottle , but once every couple of weeks. We want to savor it, lol!

OTOH, we also have some sort of beverage containing Southern Comfort a little more frequently. Again, we end up having our 'lovely beverage' together.

OMG!!!! You stole my cat!!! Honestly....I have your cat's twin! We just "adopted" him last month...he was a stray that found his way into our home...just had to look at ds! LOL We later found out that he lived up the street but the owner was moving and could not take him....so "Strider" is ours!! He is the BEST cat. Of course, once I got him my Mom decided she needed one too....she is getting sa kitten that I named "Belle"...figures I amd the Disney geek that gets a "Strider" and she gets the princess Belle!

Two glasses tops. It goes straight to my head.
